Short soak the beans

• Rinse the dried navy beans and place them in a bowl.
• Cover with the water and soak for a short time, not overnight.

Drain the soaking liquid

• Drain the beans in a colander and discard the soaking liquid.

Cook in the Instant Pot

• Put the beans in the Instant Pot and cover with fresh water.
• Cook under pressure until tender but still holding their shape.

Separate the broth

• Drain most of the cooking broth off the beans, keeping it to freeze or use in soups.

Season and serve

• Season the beans with salt to taste, or mix them into a sauce of your choice.
